Padaro Beach Grill

After a morning at the beach, Santa Barbara families head to the Padaro Beach Grill. Located right by the shore, with only train tracks between its grassy backyard space and the beach, the Padaro Beach Grill has a large lawn and round tables with umbrellas to protect against the sun, a huge sandpit for smaller kids to run around in, and a family friendly menu with Pacific coast basics like a Maui burger, shrimp and avocado salad, and fish tacos. As Indagare insider Sam Bradley notes, “This is a good day outing; go to the beach, then have lunch at PBG.”
